Hi,

I have set it up nameserver and works fine.

When I try to set it up my domain it is not working.

Here is my etc/named/xxxx.hosts

$ttl 38400
xxxx.com. IN SOA ns2.***********. root.ns2.xxxxx.com. (
1023120366
10800
3600
604800
38400 )
NS ns2.x***********.
A 64.xx.xxx.7

mail CNAME ***********.
www CNAME xxxxx.com.

in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

<VirtualHost 64.xx.xx.7>
ServerAlias www.xxxxx.com xx***********
ServerAdmin abcd@localhost.com
DocumentRoot /home/shann/public_html
ServerName x***********
</VirtualHost>

is any other info needed please let me know.

Trying to find the problem and couldnt solve it.

Thanks in advance
Shann

When troubleshooting domain names it helps to have the actual domain, so we can troubleshoot. But for starters, can you ping the domain name (ping www.domain.com)? It is easier for a problem like this to try one thing at a time to isolate where the problem is occuring.

If you can ping the domain, but not get to the website, then the problem is with your apache config, if you cannot even ping the domain, then you know it is most likely a DNS config problem.

i already tried ping and didnt work, here is more info to debug
my domain is supernetscripts.com and name server is
ns2.scriptstalk.com

Do I have to start run any daemon for DNSBIND on my server?

Thanks

The scriptstalk name servers do not have any information about this domain:

Code:

[allan@ns1 allan]$ dig @NS2.SCRIPTSTALK.COM supernetscripts.com SOA

; <<>> DiG 9.1.3 <<>> @NS2.SCRIPTSTALK.COM supernetscripts.com SOA
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:

;; WHEN: Wed Jun 12 11:59:27 2002

That's bad

How could I feed my domain information to my nameserver
which file i have to modify?.

I thought this is the file feeding the info to nameserver.

Thank you for your help.

named.conf is where domain information should be stored...however, it has to be set up on the actual server. You didn't make it clear you were doing that, so I just want to make sure: Are you editing the named.conf file on the server ns2.scriptstalk.com?

shann · #7 06-12-2002, 02:01 PM

I already have done in /etc/named.conf, This is what I have
done.

zone "supernetscripts.com" {
type master;
file "/var/named/supernetscripts.com.hosts";
};

in /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.0.0.10 localhost.localdomain localhost
64.xx.xx.7 ns2.scriptstalk.com

This is the IP 64.xx.xx.7 I have given to register ns2.scriptstalk.com name server.

All of them I am doing in this IP ( 64.xx.xx.7). if you
need more info please let me know.

Thanks in advance

I can see bind is working fine on the machine:

Code:

[allan@ns1 allan]$ dig @NS2.SCRIPTSTALK.COM version.bind chaos txt

; <<>> DiG 9.1.3 <<>> @NS2.SCRIPTSTALK.COM version.bind chaos txt
;; global options:  printcmd

Did you restart named after you added the zone file for supernetscripts.com? When you did, did you notice any errors in /var/log/messages?

let me check what is wrong in /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/supernetscripts.com.host

If any thing you can give me input.

Thanks again for looking at my problem.
